Bug Description

Xubuntu 20.04 LTS
Kernel linux: 5.4.0-37-generic
gvfs version: 1.44.1-1ubuntu1

This bug occurs when I connect to a ftp server through the files manager (test with thunar and pcmanFM) and I open a file with a text editor (test with sublime text 3 and Mousepad).

Sometimes when I save the file, it is send truncated to the server (ex: 4KiB instead of 6KiB or 160KiB instead of 235KiB). Save again the file (even after a change) don't fix it. I must copy my file content, close the file, re-open it from the file manager, paste content and try again to save.

It seems don't have problem with SFTP (ssh) protocol. Just the FTP and FTPS ones.

It isn't a server problem because there is no problem with other FTP client like Filezilla.
